This book examines higher education trends in the U.S. and in China over the last 50 years and demonstrates through research and essay areas where the two cultures can meet and flourish. Vaccaro is a retired university president and sociologist with a wealth of experience in higher education. He is a keen observer of how trends in higher education can transcend the passing of time and his many visits to China and teaching there lend credence to his essays.

This book is recommended for any undergraduate or graduate student studying higher education administration who is interested in historical perspectives on higher education in the West and how China manages its universities and where the two might share common ground.
